  Sweeet, I get to try out Ezreal. I just want to iron out my list of to buy characters I want in the future.
  
  We might see some fail JungleStixs though but that's if they even are interested in jungling at my level.

  One of the most brain damaged team I've played with. Other team was fed like crazy in the beginning and we got crushed in team fights and even our own ganks. Whole team was screaming at another for feeding even though everyone was pretty much playing just as bad as the other. Thankfully their LeBlanc had to leave and we eventually caught up in levels. I was able to carry the team to victory!

  
  
  Nice comeback :) Though that Kassadin has a weird AD build. If he had went with AP that would have been game over. The tanks on your team obviously weren't looking at the enemy gears. I see all of them besides LeBlanc building AD gears therefore they shouldn't have focused so hard on the mr but more on the defense. PS your blitz sounds like a massive troll...
  
  Eh I've been busy with my 3 midterms this week but I am interested in trying out Karma and Malz this week. More on Karma though :{D She seems like more fun to play with her hybrid style of either Ap carry/support or pure support with auras. Any thoughts on Karma? Also excited for the new tree hero :)

  Karma isn't a very good champion. The most damage she will do is with her mantra shield, and even then it isn't a gigantic burst. Her mantra heavenly wave cannot heal a very large amount either. Her most interesting looking skill, spirit bond, sounds great on paper but it rarely provides a huge amount of utility. If you throw it on an enemy it won't do any damage and unless you mantra (mantra doubles slow/boost) it you only slow them by 20% at MAX level (and most builds rank this last). You rarely have people in a neat line for you to pass through and the bond breaks at a pretty short distance.
  She's a decent champion and she can play well just like any other champion but there are better champions. There's no point in having a moderate nuke and support when you could have a full nuke or a full support.
  
  Malzahar is a silence/suppress asshole. Very strong nuker but just like any other caster he drops like a brick when focused. It really doesn't help that he has no escape or kiting mechanism like other squishies. The only ability that allows him to kite someone is his ult. Even Miss Fortune has her bullet rain slow.

  Dang I haven't played sona in forever and now she's not really that good now D: What's with all the nerfs on my sona? Her heal at lvl 5 with like 120 ap is like 180 now wtf. When did they nerf her so hard?

  V1.0.0.106:
  
  * Hymn of Valor Hymn of Valor:
  o Base damage reduced to 60/110/160/210/260 from 70/120/170/220/270.
  o Ability power ratio reduced to 0.5 from 0.6.
  * Aria of Perseverance Aria of Perseverance healing reduced to 30/55/80/105/130 from 40/65/90/115/140.
  * Song of Celerity Song of Celerity active movespeed reduced to 6/8/10/12/14% from 8/10/12/14/16%.
  
  She got nerfed in that one(and the previous 2 patches before that, more like buffs and nerfs though). It was during when Trundle first came out. Wouldn't you use E as well for chasing/escaping? owo Soraka got nerfed as well, she can only heal every 6 seconds with max CDR, not to mention she doesn't have enough oomph like Sona does.
  
  So I saved 3.1k for a champion. Any recommendations? I'll probably wait and see when the Tree Guy is out though, he might be 3.1k. owo

  O I see Shang thanks D: Dang naw I remember the days when I could 2-shot Ashe if I played her as an ap carry. I also noticed her auras last less time than they used to. I used to be able with blue buff to keep up all 3 auras at once. My favorite 3.1k heroes are shen/akali/garen but that's just me. I'd say wait for the tree hero to come out and see how it works out. At least I'm still able to heal people up but no longer like 220+ now. Also her mana costs are up again D: I need clarity TT__________TT There goes ghost and flash combo

  Not a carry since I suck at them. =w= More like Support/Tanks.

  Well if we're going by people that they label as direct stuff and my own opinion:
  
  Support: Lux? (though most people play her as an ap nuke), Sona, Nidalee, Taric, Karma, Morgana (don't know her price but I think she's 3.1k?)
  
  Tanks that I know of in 3.1k are shen, cho, garen, malphite, rammus (totally forgot about him earlier), Gragas (not sure about his price though), Taric (support or tank depending on how you play as him), Mordekaiser (though he's not considered a "tank" because he lacks a disable), also Urgot or I've had a tank urgot before.
  
  I'm sure I missed a couple but yeah owo

  Release Notes v1.0.0.111 http://www.leagueoflegends.com/news/release-notes-v100111
  
  They're changing the IP/XP system. More rewards will be given for having a long game (instead of a speedy win or a long defense) which is much better imo. No-leave bonus removed. Level 10 and under will gain more IP so that they can get a champion faster. In general IP will be buffed; hope it's a large amount.
  
  Ryze got the values of all his spells changed by a large amount. Honestly it makes me want to play him even less than before. He doesn't scale as much with AP and doesn't rely as much on gaining levels. His ult now gives spell vamp instead of AP, no idea why I'd rather want that. The only redeeming factor seems to be his Q spell, as the cool down was reduced to a flat 3.5 seconds. That along with his passive will allow him to cast skills more often for higher sustained damage.
  
  

  New Item: Morello's Evil Tome
  Builds out of Fiendish Codex and Blasting Wand (Total Cost of 2350)
  +75 ability power
  +12 mana regeneration per 5
  UNIQUE passive: 15% cooldown reduction

  
  Added to provide more AP+CDR items. This comes along with tank+CDR items getting CDR nerfed.
  
  Pretty big patch so be sure to check out the UI changes and Co-op mode.
  
  The spotlight for the tree is delayed because Youtube is in maintenance mode, preventing uploads.
  
  Oh yeah Tryndamere can use his ultimate while suppressed now.

  Are you kidding me? He's so freaking annoying enough to kill as is already -.-

  Gonna wait until what Phreak says on the Champion Spotlight before thinking about buying Moakai. Also if people will call him OP or not(which they will for every new champion). -_-
